Engineering components printed by 3-dimensional printers are employed asmechanical structures in an assembly. In order for the printed components to be useful forengineering applications, mechanical properties of printed parts must be known for structuraldesign. The properties provide answers to the strength of the material, the types of stresses acomponent can endure before failure, and the size of a component based on the loads itexperiences. 3D printed materials have recently been studied for their mechanical properties [4,5, 6].

Additionally, the ECI scholars were provided with anupperclassman peer mentor.In 2019, with changes in funding and a new direction by the administration, it was necessary tochange the model of the ECI Summer Bridge program. Instead of a six-week program, the newmodel would be a five-day program that mainly focused on developing students’ math skills,teamwork, and ensuring students were acclimated to campus.

2recent research argues that since the effects of some pollutants from the industrial era haveeffects that can last hundreds if not thousands of years, the number should be significantly larger(Boyle & Coates, 2005; Tonn, 2004). If this approach is taken, engineers must go beyond theproduct life cycle towards the “project” life cycle which also includes the process (e.g. thefactory and distribution techniques). The paradigm of the design process then must shift toexamine not only the original system, but also change of that and other systems over time (Boyle& Coates, 2005).While many categories could exist, sustainability is generally examined within the context ofenvironmental, economic and social realms.

These exercises can rangefrom a simple poll or discussion in class to the extreme of completely flipping a classroom in whichstudents learn content outside the class and use class time to work on problem sets, active learningexercises, projects, or similar activities. The latter extreme hopes to allow students to work onproblems in a more controlled and collaborative environment than doing problem sets at home ontheir own. Flipped classrooms have shown positive results in some engineering courses, but thisis not universal for all implementations in engineering courses with some studies showing mixedresults in learning outcomes [4].At Villanova University, all mechanical engineering students are required to take a

All engineering majors atBaylor University take this course and they could accomplish a gas turbine laboratory at thispoint in the curriculum. In the follow-on advanced thermodynamics course, mechanicalengineering students learn more about the Brayton cycle and what modifications would improvethe cycle efficiency.

Does this new information help thestudent to become a better general electrical engineer? Does the new information helps thestudent to prepare, executes, and demonstrate a better final senior design project? Does thestudent have to take the communication course in order to satisfy the

approach is to demand more engagement from the students [2]. This method is shown tobe effective as seen in prior literature [2-6]. However, it is observed that while students are morecollaborative in such dynamic learning environments, they still tend to align themselves to theviews of their team, and eventually, the direction of the course is defined by the instructor. So,while the active learning approach does bring the team along in the process of learning, there aresome aspects that still need to be addressed. One such aspect is the students’ engagement in termsof communicating their doubts and confusions. Typically, students show their original work viaassignments, quizzes, projects, and tests. However, the timeline for such activities is
